If harming your electronics with water (or any other liquid), is a grave concern, make the switch I made. You're gonna love this trick from a photography master, and my grandpa. Ready? High gloss automotive vinyl wrap and foam core boards. Simply apply ANY color or style, one on each side and VIOLA! you have TWO highly reflective surfaces and water and can be sprayed onto it, then simply wiped off. If you need a really, really shiny surface, silver and gold reflective mylar used in tinting HOME windows/doors, etc. (with adhesive backing), provides outrageous image results. Truly, I would've never thought of these either. Automotive vinyl wrap? Window Tint? He's just too cool, and quite frankly, his mind is sometimes really out there! Hope this master's secret tip helps you, or maybe gives YOU some creative ideas of your own. Cool video, make more. ~Alexa Shaw, A Simple Photographer

@@fredvanleeuwen Thank you, I'll mention this to the old dude! I'd love to see a vid using one or more of your own creations. . Also, please let me know how it works for you. I've added, wood grain, granite, marble and NEON colors like fuchsia, lime, hot pink and other "metallic" like forms such as carbon fiber both matte and high gloss. The possibilities just never seem to end. Looking forward to seeing a vid using the vinyl creations you come up with. . ~Alexa Shaw, Just A Simple Photographer
